For the past three years, I’ve helped Popular Science select ten outstanding young scientists to receive the magazine’s Brilliant Ten award. The project takes months of winnowing and vetting. But the 2016 list is finally out! I profiled Suchi Saria, Conor Walsh, Liangfang Zhang, Shyam Gollakota, and Cigall Kadoch. See the full list here: http://www.popsci.com/brilliant-10-2016
